I have many doll reference books and this one is great. Although it is not really a price guide. It does have great color pictures and has a great history of the Arranbee dolls. A beaufiful book. It is worth having in your collection.

This book is an answer to prayer! For years I have been trying to find out the name and type of doll that was my childhood favorite. My mother and father bought her during the end of the Depression/start of World War II, and she must have been expensive for the time. When I finally received my "Arranbee Dolls: Identification & Value Guide" ordered through Amazon.com, I somehow I turned right to page 79, and there was my precious doll in all her store-bought beauty, with a red feather in her hair! Of course I had played with her over the years and after 50 years her clothes and hair were a mess. With the photo of how she looked originally I can now take her to a doll hospital and have her restored. Her original white rabbit fur cape is still intact. A new gown can be copied according to the photo, and new "red snap shoes" and white socks provided. I would highly recommend this book to any doll "admirer," either amateur or professional.
